Many of you have asked how Livia's birthday was. Honestly, it was great. 2 year old birthdays are fun, with very low expectations at our house.
The day started with a special outing, just Daddy and Livia. Daddy has started taking the birthday child out for breakfast- or donuts- depending upon their age. Livia and Braden brought home donuts for everyone and she literally danced in her chair while humming and eating her sprinkled donut with abandon. (We only have donuts on birthdays!)
There were balloons, another "tradition." She even had presents, thanks to her relatives far away. =) And on Sunday we took Pink Lady cake to home group, where everyone sang Happy Birthday and Liv blew out her candles like a pro. (She has, after all, been practicing since Charlotte's birthday in January!) She was delighted, which was such fun to watch. And of course, this birthday causes me to think back over the past year and the previous year, to give thanks to God who has so lavishly blessed us with children who show us His goodness and faithfulness. We are blessed beyond words, and birthdays are a wonderful reminder.
